Although the UFC has yet to add the matchups to its official Web site, the contests are set to take place at UFC 108 on Jan. 2 in Las Vegas.

While the UFC has been forced to deal with shuffled matchups on the card due to a myriad of injuries to a number of competitors, both bouts add intrigue to the event.

Both fights take place on the evening’s main card.

Daley (22-8-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) seeks to follow-up a shocking, first-round
TKO win over Martin Kampmann at UFC 103 with another impressive outing.
Following the September win in his UFC debut, Daley said he would be
willing to fight anyone the UFC put in front of him.

The 26-year-old Team Rough House product has won 10 of his past 12
contests, and “Semtex” has earned 17 of his 22 career wins by knockout
or TKO.

Meanwhile, the bout is Hazelett’s (12-4 MMA, 5-2 UFC) first since a
November 2008 win over Tamdan McCrory. “McLovin” was forced into a
year-long hiatus due to a knee injury, and a UFC 106 bout in November
was scratched when opponent Karo Parisyan pulled out for, according to
UFC president Dana White, “a laundry list of reasons.”

Hazelett provides a threat on the ground for Daley, as the 23-year-old
has earned nine of his 12 career wins by submission. Hazelett has also
earned back-to-back “Submission of the Night” honors in his past two
UFC appearances.

Yvel (36-13-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC), a 50-fight veteran who previously competed for PRIDE, is 8-1 over his past nine bouts; all of the wins came via stoppage, seven via knockout. The lone loss came to Josh Barnett at “Affliction: Day of Reckoning” in January. Yvel took a beating in the fight but lasted late into the third round.

Dos Santos (9-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC), meanwhile, has quickly climbed up the ranks of the UFC’s heavyweight division with three consecutive stoppage wins in the organization. Just 25 years old, Dos Santos earned TKO wins over Fabricio Werdum and Stefan Struve before forcing Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic to verbally submit to strikes at UFC 103 in September.
